Eastern Bloc rock: Velvet Revolutions volume two celebrates the hugely innovative and unique sound that was engineered behind the infamous Iron Curtain in Cold War Eastern Europe. Enigmatic, bizarre and genial are just a few choice words that could be used, yet only offer brief praise of the overlooked craft created by a generation whose hindered hopes and dreams were recorded in the 1960s and 1970s. These sounds survive as monumental works in their own right and stand as a testament to their art while serving as a lesson to those in the West who thought they knew it all. Includes a 20-page color booklet with comprehensive liner notes and rare color photographs. Artists include: Olympic, Progress Organization, Kameleoni, The Matadors, Romualdiroman, Grupa220, Breakout, Crni Biseri, Hungaria, Blue Effect, Omega, Illes, No Toco, and Romulad I.
